and 70 lamps were provided for the streets near the Centre and 25 at East Princeton. Gasolene and kerosene were used with rather unsatisfactory results.
The cost of maintenance steadily increased and the lights operated only part of the year. At a Town Meeting held April 3, 1911, Dr. E. S. Lewis, J. D. Gregory and P. C. Doolittle were chosen to investigate Electrical Street Lighting and report at a future meeting. They reported unanimously in favor of such a system, and H. P. Houghton, J. B. Marcou and P. C. Doolittle were chosen a committee and given full power to make contracts. The matter of raising a sufficient amount of money to finance the project of municipal ownership of an electric lighting system was discussed at meetings held on various dates. It was finally decided favorably Sept. 14, 1912, and the Town voted to raise $15,000 to install this system of street and commercial lighting. It has proved a success and 130 street lights are maintained in different parts of the town. There are 56 customers for commercial current: the num- ber is yearly increasing. The current is purchased from the Gardner Electric Light Co. and is generated by the Connecticut River Transmission Co. at Vernon, Vt.

First Burial Ground. For several years after the in- corporation of the district, there was no public burying ground within its borders. A few of the earlier burials were made at Rutland, but probably most of the interments were made in some selected spot upon the farms, as was usually the custom in thinly settled communities. Even in later days, this plan was adopted by some families, to be followed by regrets in after years. The location of the meeting house upon the hill decided the location of the first burying ground, as the two were almost invariably side by side.
In 1765 Hon. Moses Gill made a gift to the town of 20 acres in the easterly third of lot Letter B for a burying ground and a common. This land was practically of little
370
History of Princeton
value but for a common, and the larger part of the tract served for that purpose, and in the absence of a better spot, for a training field in connection with the Mirick lot pre- viously given.
Of this lot of twenty acres, about two and a half acres were set apart for a burying ground, to which an addition of about as much more was made in 1773. It was a very unfortunate selection for the purpose, not only on account of the rocks, but also and especially on account of the springy nature of the soil. Yet, notwithstanding the serious objections and often, at burials, the repellant con- dition of the ground, it was for some years the only public place for burial in the town.
In some portions of this cemetery burials are still occa- sionally made, notwithstanding the establishment of other grounds; but a large number of removals have been made to the newer cemeteries named below. Here are some rude stones without inscription, but evidently placed to mark the graves of some of the first buried after the se- lection of the ground, and there are evidences of many graves over which no stones were ever placed.
The town exercised reasonable care of the ground and at the time of its enlargement in 1773 ordered a stone wall five feet high to be built about it. But the work appears to have been delayed until 1779 when the order was re- newed with the specification that the wall was to be " faced upon the road " and two gates to be hung in the most con- venient place.
In 1818 the widow of Capt. John Dana was authorized to build a tomb in the south-west part of the ground, and similar permits were given to other persons in 1823 and 1824, but the use of these tombs has long since been dis- continued except perhaps for temporary purposes.
The West Ground. In 1794, a plot of about one half an acre of land in the west part of the town was given for a burying ground by Colonel John Jones, father of Captain John of Princeton. Although the gift was accepted, yet no use was apparently made of it then. In 1796 a committee
37I
Miscellany
was appointed in town meeting to "consider about the plot given by Col. Jones." Mr. Richard Baxter, who lived near the spot opposite the present residence of Mr. Warren Bigelow, subsequently added about one half an acre, and a deed of the lot to the town in 1812 was given by Adam Jones of Templeton, Isaac Chenery and Lemuel Fisk of Holden and Richard Baxter. This ground is known as the West ground.
The North Burying Ground was the third established in the town. About one-third of an acre was purchased in 1826 of Stephen Mirick, to which was added a small lot secured from Phineas Gregory. This is on the lower Westminster road, near the corner of the Gregory road.
The East Burying Ground, containing one and a quarter acres, was the gift of Deacon Ebenezer Parker in 1831. It is located on the county road to Sterling, in the east part of the town, some distance north of the road; the town owning a right of way thereto of one rod in width from the county road. The burials here have been almost exclusively of families living in the easterly part of the town.
The South Burying Ground, located at the junction of the road to Rutland via Brooks Station and the road from Holden to Hubbardston, was purchased by the town of John H. Brooks in 1848 and contains one acre and forty rods.
The Parker Ground on the old East Princeton road was purchased by the town, of Ebenezer Parker in 1831. The burials here are mostly of those bearing the name of Parker.
Woodlawn Cemetery was established in 1852, the neces- sity of a cemetery near the centre, on account of the condition of the old one on the hill, being acknowledged. The lot covers three-fourths of an acre and is located on the road to Rutland, a few rods south of Boylston Avenue. John Brooks was one of the chief promotors of this.
Here are found the names of many of the prominent families of the town - Goodnow, Mirick, Dana, Brooks, Eveleth, Blake, Russell, etc.
372
History of Princeton
A monument erected by Dr. Alphonso Brooks, in his family lot, is the most massive and expensive of any in the town.
The entrance to this cemetery has been greatly improved by the erection of an ornamental gateway by Mr. Thomas Allen who also purchased land entirely encircling the ground to prevent any encroachment upon it and to pro- vide for its possible extension in the future.

Chair Manufacturing in Princeton. The earliest dates obtainable show that Benjamin Stuart and son Joseph of Sterling commenced making chairs in East Princeton in 1841. They later took in partnership John H., doing business as B. Stuart & Sons. Some years later Joseph withdrew from the firm and removed to New York City, the firm at East Princeton changing to B. & J. H. Stuart. After the death of the father John H. continued the busi- ness until 1891 when his son, Arthur L. Stuart, succeeded him.
April 1, 1904, the business was incorporated under the name of "The Temple-Stuart Co." and continued to make chairs and settees, with a much enlarged plant. The com- pany was burned out July 26, 1910, and the firm removed to Baldwinsville, Mass., in the autumn of that year. In 1846 James Brown began the manufacture of chairs in East Princeton.
In 1849 he took in partnership his brother William. The firm of J. & Wm. H. Brown continued in business until the shop was destroyed by fire in 1861. Wm. H. Brown rebuilt and carried on the business until his factory was burned in 1877.
On Nov. 7, 1881, Charles W. Reed and Foster E. Mat- thews bought the Mark Wilder mill at East Princeton and started making chairs. Shortly after John H. Temple bought Matthews' interest and the firm was known as Reed & Temple. In 1894 Mr. Temple bought Mr. Reed's interest and took in partnership Benjamin Stuart of New York City.
The factory was enlarged by the addition of a boiler house and paint-shop where chairs were finished by dipping in large tanks filled with varnish, thus inaugurating a new era in the finishing of chairs.
The firm now took the name of Temple & Stuart. After the death of Mr. Stuart in 1896 John H. Temple continued manufacturing until his factory was burned in 1899. He then erected a large paint-shop and warehouse where he continued to finish chairs to the date of his death Feb. 22,

History of Princeton
1904. This plant was then occupied by the Temple- Stuart Co. until they removed to Baldwinsville.
In 1880 Thurston and Eugene R. Buck bought the old Ephraim Wilder mill on the Princeton-Sterling road near the Sterling line. Here they began the making of chairs and chair stock. Their mill was destroyed by fire in June 1883, but they soon rebuilt under the firm name of T. & E. R. Buck. This firm have made extensive additions at different periods; the last in 1914 when they doubled their power plant by the installation of two 65 H.P. boilers and are now turning out nearly a thousand chairs daily with a capacity for a much larger output.
Roper Lumber & Box Company. In 1751 Oliver Davis the fifth settler in Princeton located in the western part of the town, purchasing tracts of land in Princeton and Hubbardston. He soon erected a saw mill on West Wachusett brook near its intersection with the "Old Hubbardston Turnpike," one half mile above the present saw mill of the Roper's. Mr. Davis later in 1755 built the first grist mill in town. This was located on the site now occupied by the Roper Lumber & Box Co. In 1830 this property was known as Fays Mills. Mr. Samuel Roper purchased the mill of H. O. Clark, a real estate broker, in 1856. In 1869 the firm was S. Roper & Sons. Mr. Roper carried on the business from 1877-1892, up to this date, sawing lumber and turning chair stock was the principal industry, although threshing grain was carried on a few years, and a grist mill has been maintained from the beginning. From 1892 to 1895 Mr. Roper had associated with him Mr. Lyman Partridge and they first made boxes at this time. Mr. Roper now took in partnership his two sons William M. Jr. and Eugene D. under the present firm name of Roper Lumber & Box Co. Besides the manu- facturing of boxes the firm does a general jobbing business.
They own eleven tenements, control 1600 acres of timber land in Princeton, Rutland and Hubbardston and use a million feet of lumber annually.
CHAPTER XV
GLEANINGS
Freemasonry reached its highest point in Princeton, early in the nineteenth century. Quite a number of Princeton men were associated with a lodge in Rutland.
The first meeting of the James Thompson Lodge, A. F. & A. M., was held in Rutland, Mass., June 22, 1812. St. John's day was observed in Princeton in 1813, when lodges from neighboring towns were invited to attend.
April 27, 1820, a petition from masons of Princeton, to remove Thompson Lodge to Princeton, was lost by vote of eleven in favor, twenty-three against.
The last meeting of the Lodge was held in December, 1826. Rev. Samuel Clarke was High Priest of Thomas Royal Arch Chapter of Princeton, and there are several of his printed addresses in the Princeton library.

The first regular convocation of Thomas Royal Arch Chapter was held at the hall of Peter Richardson, Jr., in Princeton on January 2, A.D. 1822. The first three candi- dates exalted were Joel Pratt, Alexander Dustin, and John D. Pratt. Rev. Samuel Clarke the first High Priest held that office 1823-24, John G. Davis, 1825-27; Charles

Russell, 1828-30; Rev. Samuel Clark, 1831; D. Wilder, 1847; John D. Pratt, 1848.
The members resided in or near the town of Princeton. After twenty-five years in Princeton the Chapter was transferred to Fitchburg. The first meeting in Fitchburg was held at Freemason's Hall, Dec. 21, 1847.
While the Chapter was located at Princeton I do not think the number of members ever exceeded forty.
In the early days of the Lodge at Princeton meetings were held at private houses. It is authentically recorded that when meetings were held at the house later owned by Calvin Davis (which stood in front of the present blacksmith shop of Dr. Stimson) the wife of one of the members desired some light on the secret workings of the Order and so bored a small hole in the plastered ceiling of the chamber where meetings were held. The white mortar on the floor betrayed the fateful point of observation. It is also related that once when the Masons met at the tavern of Peter Richardson, now the Grimes house, Mrs. Richardson rapped at the door saying she had occasion for her grid-iron if the meeting was not using it. The later meetings of the Lodge were held in the hall above Folger's store, now the mansion of the late T. H. Russell.
The Good Templars organized a Lodge in 1866. This temperance movement was quite popular at this time and this Lodge had a membership of 40 or more. The meet- ings were held in Beaman's Hall and continued for some years. J. T. Everett was foremost in this work. Perhaps something was done in the Washingtonian movement in the early forties.
The Ancient Order of United Workmen. This is a fraternal beneficiary order granting financial protection at cost to the beneficiaries of its deceased members in various sums up to $2000.
It embraces the Lodge form of government: and a subordinate lodge was instituted June 12, 1890 with 19 Charter members.
Prentice C. Doolittle was the first Master Workman,
378
History of Princeton
J. C. F. Mirick, Recording Secretary and William S. Brooks, Financial Secretary. During the quarter of a century this Lodge has been in existence 131 men have joined the Order here; $26,000 has been paid to the families of 13 deceased brothers. For 22 years the meetings were held in Bagg Hall. Since that time meetings are held the 2d and 4th Monday evenings of each month in A.O.U.W. Hall owned by Prentice C. Doolittle.
The Washington Benevolent Society in 1813 of Prince- ton and Westminster was formed. The object being the study and cultivation of the virtues of George Washington. The duration of this organization is unknown.
The Princeton Dramatic Club flourished from 1876 to 1883. Several good amateur plays were produced and some stage property acquired which was destroyed at the burning of Boylston Hall.
A Lyceum was the outgrowth of a series of debates held in a modest way at the school house near Russell's Corner in the winter of 1873-74. Meetings were held during the winter months of the succeeding five years at Boylston Hall and much good was accomplished in giving the young people confidence in public speaking.
At a meeting of two factions of the Farmers' and Me- chanics' Association in January, 1887, the original club voted to disband, and to deposit the funds remaining in the hands of the newly formed association. Worcester Spy.
Princeton Club. This social organization was started Jan. 18, 1913. The early meetings were held in Bagg Hall. The Club was incorporated March 8, 1913. The question of more suitable quarters was discussed and the A. A. Pratt residence (formerly the Solon S. Hastings house) was leased of the Pratt family.
In many respects this proved an ideal home for the Club. There were 48 Charter members, many of whom belonged to the Summer Colony.
Many instructive lectures and informal talks have been given under the auspices of the Club. The present officers are Henry C. Delano, President, Harvey D. Crosby,
379
Gleanings
Sec., and John Perkins, Treas. The present membership is 64.
Princeton Farmer's Club. Probably no local organiza- tion in Princeton ever exerted a better or wider influence in social and agricultural interests than the "Princeton Farmer's Club" during the 46 years of its existence.
From its inception it had the support of all the progres- sive citizens of the town. Its annual suppers were looked upon as the social event of the year and its influence in promoting improved methods of farming and stock rais- ing were most beneficial.
Lectures and agricultural talks were given and Cattle Shows held yearly under its auspices. The first meeting of this organization, when a constitution was adopted, was held Feb. 6, 1860.
Dea. Henry Boyles, President.
Albert C. Howe, Vice-President.
Edward E. Hartwell, Secretary.
George E. Pratt, Treasurer.
For the first few months meetings were held weekly and various topics of interest to farmers were discussed.
At the first annual meeting held Dec. 31, 1860, J. Edwin Merriam was chosen secretary and held this office 22 years during the existence of the Club. In 1882 the name of the Club was changed to The Princeton Farmer's and Mechanic's Association and a younger element came into control.
In 1883 the Association suffered a severe loss in the de- struction of its cattle, sheep and hog pens in connection with the burning of Boylston Hall. In 1896 the Associ- ation voted to dissolve and turn over to the Town $200 of its funds in trust, the income to be paid to the Park Commissioners for the care of Goodnow Park.
This seemed a fitting act for an organization which had done much for the civic and agricultural welfare of the community.

Princeton Grange No. 74, Patrons of Husbandry was organized with 39 charter members on Feb. 6, 1875. Within a short period the Grange became dormant and so remained until April 28, 1909, when a reorganization took place with 31 charter members. Since then the membership has increased until on Jan. 1, 1915, it was 201.
The past masters are Isaac F. Thompson (deceased) Arthur E. Hutchinson, Fred P. Hall, Justin M. Clark, Raymond J. Gregory. The present master is Edward W. Brunsen.
Sanatorium. In the Spring of 1914 the idea was con- ceived of building a house, on the Brooks lot, just south of the Parsonage, to contain various appliances for Hydro- theropeutical and Electrical treatments. A year was consumed in the construction and special equipment of the structure, which now contains all the necessary arrange- ments to simulate the well known baths of Spa, Belgium, Wiesbaden, Baden Baden and Nauheim, Germany, as well as the Waffles high frequency violet ray electrical treat- ment.
